Nathan Ellis' heroics take Australia home in one-wicket thriller

Harare, Sep 20 (UNI) Nathan Ellis was the hero of an epic one-wicket win over Zimbabwe after Josh Inglis posted his third ODI century to help Australia clinch a 3-0 series sweep.
A packed Sunday Harare Sports Club was on the verge of pandemonium when the home side closed in on a third win over Australia in their last five games after Inglis was the last recognised batter dismissed with 45 runs still required.
But with two wickets in hand and visibility deteriorating rapidly with only three of the four light towers working, Ellis proceeded to flatten the expectant crowd in a match-winning 27-run 10th-wicket stand with No.11 Spencer Johnson (7no off 13).
